Christmas Eve
Tonight I spent Christmas eve with my "second family" (The Laliberte's). Each year, since my family celebrates Christmas on Christmas day, I usually spend Christmas eve with one of my best friend's (Jeni) family.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Wow! It sure has been a long time since I've been able to blog. School, school, school, and more school has had me so busy. The good news is the fall has flown by just like I thought it would and thankfully I survived yet another semester of pharmacy school. Now, I finally have a little time off to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year! 
I love this time of the year because of so many reasons...First, I get to spend time with friends, my family, and with Adam and his family. This is especially important to me since we all live so spread out from one another. My whole family (grandparents, cousins, aunts/uncles) lives in Panama City, FL. One of my brothers lives in SC. My parents still live in my hometown of Troy, AL. And Adam and his family are in Clay County of course. So, getting to see everyone makes this time of year very special. 
Secondly, I get to hunt! Yep, it's true. I love to hunt and enjoy it so much since it's a hobby that Adam AND I share. We try to go every chance we get while I am visiting him. Third, I don't have to study therefore I get to enjoy some of my hobbies that studying and school interferes with during the semester. I like reading, running, updating my blog (although you wouldn't think it by the looks of my blog), etc. :) One of my best friends (Court) introduced me to a series of books. They are Christian fiction and are called The Redemption Series by Karen Kingsbury. There are 5 books in the first series. I am reading the first of the 5 books and have not finished it, but so far I LOVE IT and recommend reading it if you have spare time. I could go on for days about why I enjoy the Christmas season so much. I won't. However, lastly and most importantly, I will say this time of year is a reminder of how great our God is and how he gave the greatest gift of all! As another year comes to an end, I realize how lucky I am to have seen another year come and go. I am so so so blessed and cannot wait to see what 2010 holds for the future!

Wedding Bells... No, Not Me
One of my best friends (Samantha) got engaged this weekend!!!!! I am so happy and excited for her and Zack! They got engaged in the mountains in a winter wonderland!!! It's so weird to see so many of my friends getting married, having children, and settling down. I look forward to my day. But for now, I am "married" to the HSOP and will have to wait. :) CONGRATS SAMANTHA! I LOVE YOU!!!!
